Chaz Bono Says 'Dancing With the Stars' Is a "Great Way to Further My Message"

Chaz Bono was revealed as one of the newest cast members of Dancing With the Stars Season 13, and Cher‘s son couldn’t be happier! The LGBT activist opened up about his decision to join the reality competition after Monday night’s big announcement.

“I thought that it would be a challenge, I for so many years was so uncomfortable, and since transitioning I feel so comfortable now I want to do something physically challenging and fun in that way,” Chaz told reporters of why he wanted to join the show. “I thought it would be a great way to further my message I started with my book and my documentary.”
